Representative Text

1 Oft in dreams I stand on the golden strand,
With the Friend who hides my past;
And with Him I share all the glories there,
Will my dreams come true at last?

Refrain:
Will my dreams come true at last,
When the cares of earth are past?
Shall I see that place and my Savior’s face,
Will my dreams come true at last?

2 Am I living right in the Master’s sight,
To the life-line holding fast?
Will the crown be won, when the day is done,
Will my dreams come true at last? [Refrain]

3 Blessed Savior dear, make my duty clear
Keep me true till life be past;
I am weak, I know; but I love Thee so!
Let my dreams come true at last. [Refrain]
